04 May 2022 --- Huhtamaki is setting up its first recycling plant in Maharashtra, India, as part of its #CloseTheLoop initiative. The site spreads across 2,000 square meters and recycles around 1,600 kg of post-consumer used flexible plastic waste per day since it became fully operational on May 2. The Central Pollution Board of India estimates that India generates close to 26,000 tons of plastic waste per day, and just over 10,000 metric tons per day of plastic waste remains uncollected.
